Zola Kids Is On the Block


Zola Kids is a new boutique in town that carries eco-friendly styles and gifts for the little ones in your life! We think the store is super cute and well stocked and our SM Token is accepted there which makes it even better!

SM Token holders get 10% off of their purchases! This is Iver (2 months) in his "Prancer" organic coveralls by Speeses, sold at Zola Kids. Perfect outfit for the Saratoga Baby!

Kindermusik ROCKS!

According to my two year old, Andrew that pretty much sums it up - Kindermusik rocks! Not in a rock and roll sort of way, but it's one of the few things that Andrew begs for when we aren't there (like going to Grammie's house or asking for ice cream every time we pass by Stewart's).

In our 45 minute "Our Time" class, Ms. Renee leads the group of toddlers and their mamas (sometimes dads and other caregivers too!) through song and dance.



Andrew loves circle time, sitting in my lap and bouncing, clapping or improvising to the great songs that become more familiar each week. The little stinker is getting good too – just the other day I tried singing a Kindermusik song in play at home and he stopped me – “Mommy, that is Ms. Renee’s song!”



He can be a timid fellow but the class is flexible – sometimes he gets right into it and dances and stomps around with the gang and other times he prefers to step back and observe the others. I’m just happy that either way he is comfortable there absorbing and enjoying the music and movement.

Each week we get to try out a variety of “instruments” like sandpaper blocks, egg shakers and wooden sticks. The instruments are wonderfully accessible for kids this age. It’s fun to watch what they choose to do and how well the little ones pick up the rhythm of the songs.



We love our music class and look forward to it each week!

We are also excited to announce that Ms. Renee is now accepting the SM Token for a discount on Kindermusik tuition at the Hostetler Music Studio! Learn more about Kindermusik with Ms. Renee here.
